Community Health
Educators
Training local people as Community Health
Mentors/ Educators and assimilating then
into potential job opportunities in the
Health sector. Educators will help recruit,
educate and mentor others in their local
community. The programme aims to encourage
better awareness of health and fitness issues,
by, for example, introducing residents to
a range of dietary, nutritional and cardiovascular
information or supporting them in accessing
leisure services. This initiative will help
address the health issues of coronary heart
disease and strokes (CVO), obesity, diabetes
and depressions as a result of social isolation.
Interpretation and
Translation
This programme provides NVQ training for
local people in community translation and
interpreting advocacy. This is in line with
the local regeneration agenda which aims
for a pool of local trained translators
and interpreters. The programme will create
long-term opportunity for people with bilingual
skills to obtain full/time, part/time, "annualised",
and/or session work in community interpretation/translation.
Participants will obtain NVQ 2/3 accreditation.
Successful participants will be assimilated
into local jobs, within the health sector
(GP practises, local hospitals, dentist,
social services etc); also they will be
part of the local council's pool of registered
translators and interpreters. Session work
opportunities will also be available in
the voluntary and community sector. The
programme benefits from linkages with the
Health Authority, local doctors, clinics,
dentists and mainstream services in accessing
trained participants into potential labour
market opportunities.
Health & Social Care

Community Economic Development and ensures

sector, and thus offers a range of services,

retention skills and job specific language
skills, all of which will enable a quick
and successful assimilation within the sector.

opportunities for members of the BME community.
NLPC members organisations have developed
a culture of community outreach work. This
